There's anyone in her batch of young
superstars who seems to have made—and
continues to make—all the right moves,
it is Claudine Barretto.
At 24, she is the highest-paid actress
and the most precious possession of
ABS-CBN's Talent Center. She was given
the breaks and proved herself worthy
of all those rare opportunities: delivering
a star turn as Vilma Santos'
unforgiving daughter in Anak
and mustering innocence
and sensuality as a loves-truck barrio
lass in last year's blockbuster Kailangan
Kita, which earned her
two Best Actress nominations with the
Star Awards and Urian. With three hit
teleseryes to her name, Claudine has
indeed gone light years far from her
beginnings in Ang TV, where she was
first only knows as Gretchen's little
sis. Next, she'll be seen in Star Cinemas's
much-anticipated Milan (that's a working
title) where she stars opposite Piolo
Pascual. |
